They are 2004 and 2005 models.Need body work,if you are lucky then almost complete parts.You have to spend money to get them road worthy.If i get a chance to go that side then i shall click some pics and post them.There is a white 2006NGCS in a previous post in this thread.It was bought for 2.30 lacs by a person here in Patiala.But his children wanted a new Thar,so he sold it for 1.90 lacs,lost 40,000/-. It had parts missing from the gearbox,and the engine needed an overhaul. I also picked one for 1.85 from an auction.You can see it in a different thread posted by my son Sammy Aulakh headed A new Project: 04Mahindra MM550.Let me know if you need any more info. regards,

Thank you Mr. Aulakh, for the contact details. Some NGCS' came with KMT90 gear boxes. They had the clutch fork on the right side similar to the 540's.
BTW what's the configuration of the gensets you picked up. Did it come mounted on a trailer ?

THe gen sets are 63 Kva minus the trailers.Fitted with leyland industrial engines with kirloskar.stamford and other alternators.I could not make the deal that day because the owner was away,so now i shall be going again in about a weeks time.this place is nearly 75 kms from Patiala.
regards.

Sir,
Leyland Engines with stamford alternator is proven set. I got to see similar gensets with trailers at the depot in udhampur. These sets are very well maintained.
Many khazanbasthi dealers also deal in army gensets. I'll pm the contact details if you need any.

Sir, are you considering 4 x 4 conversion of the jeep. if yes, can you source the parts for me as well. The axles at South India Motors, though within my Budget, are not OKBJ and FFRA. Please do let me know if you can source me the axle, Housing and the transfer case.
Regards

The Gear box is a KMT 90 fully overhauled with all the bearings , needle bearings included have been changed. The oil seals on the steering box were changed and refitted, The shackle bushes were replaced and the old shackles were retained due to non availability. The Star and Yoke of both the drive shafts have been changed. The standard Size Brake liners with new wheel cylinders for the rear, and New calipers (awaiting) for the front.

Sir,
I scouted the scrap markets in Mettupalayam, they have 4 x 4 axles, both front and back. But these come without Disc brakes on the front axles. They are quoting 7000.00 for the rear Axle and 10000.00 for the front axle. I am not sure about their condition though.
Thanks

If you are converting to disc type, you'll have to go for the booster, Hanging pedals, Alterator with pump etc., have considered the cost. Just sell it as it's is and buy an ordinary 550. There is one for sale with Mr. Babbal Chandran. The best parts is, it is registered in kerala. Sreejesh may be able to help you with his contact details.
